Dear Buck:

There are signs in town for many public facilities, but not for Fairgrounds Park off First Street. I think a sign there would be good as it is confusing having two Railroad Drives. Why is there not a sign there?

Signed, Which Way Do I Go?

Dear Which Way: Huh, so there isn't a sign for Fairgrounds Park in that spot. There are others to let folks know where Fairgrounds Park is, and while the city gets concerned about "sign pollution," city traffic engineer Bill Hange said they'll look into signage off First Street.

As for the two Railroad Drives, city staff refers to it as East Railroad Drive and West Railroad Drive, but it is a bit confusing since the Railroad Drive to the west dead-ends. Staff can take a look at that too, Hange said, and it's a question that's come up in the past, but the addresses must match with whatever signage goes up.
